I love the softer feel, played my first round with it yesterday and loved the feel and distance control.

I tested the new ones today and they feel different from the current newport 2 select gamer

I have played odyssey putters for a long time. I found that the white hot insert that several models have is just way too soft. I have currently been using a milled Odyssey that has performed very well. Just ordered a Scotty Cameron phantom five and looking forward to seeing how it. works out. Being a lefty, I don’t have a lot of choice in the Titleist offerings. Was glad they came out with the Phantom 5 in a left-handed version this year. Anyone have any thoughts on the relative firmness or softness of the phantom 5?

I'm one that likes a firm, clicky feel of a putter and ball. Picked up a Long Design Phantom 11 when they came out after playing a Futura X for almost 10 years. Very similar feel. I like the milled face and I use a Left Dash ProV1X. I tried the Studio Style the other day for fun, and it was nice. It's definitely softer than the milled face, but still of the firmer side of soft. I agree that the Odyssey putters are really soft. If I were to arbitrarily rate them in feel, my Phantom 11 would be an 8 on a 1-10 scale of firm. I would say a Odyssey white hot insert would be like a 2, an odyssey metal insert a 4, and the new Scotty a 6. It's softer, but not too soft. But this is with a firm clicky ball. As (hopefully) we all know, ball fitting should start at the green, with feel off the putter being a huge part of what you are playing.

I typically play AVX, but I started messing around with ProV1X because AVX feels like a marshmallow with my 009. I've been gaming a Catalina for the last couple weeks and the insert feels absolutely perfect with the V1X.
